Silene variegata - close-up

Silene variegata is a specialist of the mobile screes of
the high Cretan mountains (from 1300m to the highest summits).
The slender stems can creep about any stone that may slide
down and bury the plant. The plant here was photographed just
below the summit of Pachnes at 2400m.
